Standard Cell Libraries

Available in a variety of different architectures ARM® Standard Cell Libraries support a wide performance range, for all types of SoC designs. Designers can choose between different standard cell library types and optimize their designs for speed, power and/or area. Architectures that fulfill and surpass foundry DFM requirements ensure high manufacturability and yield for all types of applications.

ARM Artisan Standard Cell Libraries are available from the latest advanced 28nm nodes to established mainstream 250nm nodes. These are "best in class" libraries based on architectural analysis by experts in leading-edge processes and design styles. The libraries include models for successful implementation across the entire design flow, from synthesis to tapeout. ARM processors and other IP use the ARM Standard Cell Libraries for reference and benchmark designs.

Footprint compatible multi-channel length (MC) and multi-Vt libraries

MC libraries enable the combination of high performance with ultra-low power

MC leakage reduction proven in silicon

MC libraries provide higher yield than competing solutions

Available for different performance ranges

Use multi-Vt flow for MC libraries; no special design flow

ARM has a successful history of library development and takes the forefront in cooperation with foundries, customers and EDA vendors. Such alignment, across key disciplines within the industry, results in continuous improvements in cell sets, architecture and modeling, all of which are proven in thousands of designs.

ARM Standard Cell Libraries are for use in ultra-low power designs in the MHz range up to multiple GHz in performance critical applications.

Variety of architectures based on different track heights and cell designs cover a wide performance, power and area range

High Performance libraries are 20% faster than High Density mainstream libraries

Ultra High Density versions based on smallest cell height require 20% less area and power than mainstream libraries

All libraries are silicon tested at various voltage and temperature conditions and correlated with library models

Leading edge design flow and model support

Extensive set of PVT corners

Multi-Vdd characterization

Overdrive voltage support

Support for temperature inversion corners

High leakage corner (standard at 90 nm and below)

Custom PVT support

ARM Standard Cell Library Logic IP may be used in complex SoC designs thatrequire many types of IP across the design. In addition to Standard Cell Library IP, ARM offers a wide variety of compatible Processor to Pads IP including ARM Processor, Multimedia, System and Physical IP, with which to develop your SoC.

The wide performance range of ARM Standard Cell Libraries and the extensive support of different process options and nodes enables designers to target an optimal implementation of all ARM Processors, Multimedia and System IP. The following table gives some guidelines for IP selections.
